Our hiking trip will take you to an area of the Rockies designated as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations for its incredible, breathtaking panoramas, flowered alpine meadows, sub-alpine forests of larch and fir, cerulean coloured lakes, blue tinted glaciers and snowcapped mountains.

The showcase feature of our hike in the Canadian Rockies is Mount Assiniboine [3618 m], known as the Canadian Matterhorn, and is the highest peak in the southern Rockies.

Our Rockies hiking adventure includes spectacular helicopter flights into the heart of Mount Assiniboine in the Canadian Rockies. Our hiking days and campsites will be filled with commanding and breathtaking views of the Mount Assiniboine region. Each day we will hike to a different viewpoint in Mount Assiniboine park to create memories that will last a lifetime.

We have no hesitation in guaranteeing that you will see some of the most incredible scenery anywhere in the Canadian Rockies.

    "While I have only used one other outdoor company, REI, to Peru last year, I check around from time to time and can say with confidence STS is an excellent bargain. The spirit in which the adventures are handled are a cut above."

    "Hi Len - I just want to thank your team for the amazing trip I had on the Bowron Lakes August 07. Georgia and Victor our guides were incredible. Throughout they maintained a professional approach to the trip working long and hard every day to ensure all of us had everything we needed. I travelled alone and made friends and had a great time much assisted by Georgia and Victor. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them. They were first up and last to retire every evening. From their wilderness craft, to their encyclopaedic knowledge of the local area and its flora and fauna. The ensured that every day was a joy and the food was outstanding and there was always plenty to eat. I'm still not convinced that there wasn't someone in the forest releasing wildlife on cue as the seemed to know what was round the corner on a regular basis. As for the scenery. I live in Ireland and have travelled extensively throughout the world, so I have seen my share of beautiful scenery. I can honestly say that waking up each morning knowing that I would be spending another day in such beautiful serene and peaceful surroundings was an amazing experience. I believe the only word I can use to describe it (I'm aware it is much over used) is awesome. I would highly recommend your company and the Bowron Lake trip to anyone who is considering this type of holiday. Thank you for what turned out to be the most fulfilling trip I have ever enjoyed."
